Star Trucker

Well now you see that feller in the Louisville

He's got a mighty fine opinion of his driving skills

Give him half a chance and he'll bash your ear

Tell you how good he is

He can drive all night, and he can drive all day

And still be on the ball, or so he'll say

But I can share a little yarn about his claim to fame

He'd rather not talk about

It was on the Newell Highway in July last year

Somewhere after midnight, it was cold but clear

I seen his big rig parked in the middle of the road

Lit up like a Christmas tree

Well you can well imagine, I expected the worst

So I thought I'd take a look in the cabin first

Then I see you know who by the side of the road

Standing there staring at the stars and yelling

Beam me up, Scotty, I'm ready to ride

To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise

And boldly go through those starry skies

Hey, I proved my worth down here on earth

I'm a star trucker, star trucker

And it's time for me to go interplanetary

I'm a star, star trucker

I gotta tell you boys, it took me by surprise

To see the crazy look in that poor bloke's eyes

And when he sees me coming, well, he starts to scream

Klingons off the starboard bow

Then I have this flash on how to make it work

I said, son, it's not the Klingons, it's Captain Kirk

He said, sorry captain, it's been a hell of a day

And I just can't push it any harder

So beam me up, Scotty, I'm ready to ride

To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise

And boldly go through those starry skies

Hey, I proved my worth down here on earth

I'm a star trucker, star trucker

And it's time for me to go interplanetary

I'm a star, star trucker

Star, star trucker, yeah
